UPDATE:: NBC News has three sources telling the network that Rep. Paul Ryan, (R) Wisconsin, is Mitt Romney's choice for Vice President.

Also the National Review reports the following: Earlier today, a charter plane took off in Boston, stopped in Chicago, then flew to the tiny airport in Janesville, Wis. Janesville, of course, is the hometown of Representative Paul Ryan, a top vice-presidential contender.

“...but they have to be very careful not to turn the campaign into a pedantic snoozefest.”

Well put.

Who told you that?

I think four years of Obama stopped at every turn by the conservatives

Really! And just WHAT IF Obama decides Congress is in recess (even when they are not).

We know where Obama is going and we know he will bypass congress to go there. That means, even if we have a majority it will not matter under Obama. They will be in a recess when Obama says they are in a recess. Because of this we need to get this man out of office and put him on trial. Otherwise a precedence is set and it's a precedence that is NOT in the best interest of a Conservative or the US Constitution.

The choice is clear.

It's not conservatism or RINO vs liberalism

It's not liberalism vs liberalism

It's not democrat vs republican.

It's Socialism vs America

It's Obama against us (not against Romney) against us.

If you still have faith Obama will not bypass Congress, you're a very patient man.

Ryan isn’t the worst pick..but not sexy at all...plus he has negatives.
_______________
That;s an understatement. Ryan is a boring, huge mistake. I like Ryan, but not as Romneys running mate. Meet boring and boring.

The thing is - this is the PERFECT pick for O. I sh!t you not...a fiscal conservative (like me). They will energize the youth vote with promises of college loan forgiveness (LOL - of course I PAY for my kid’s college) and the young will flock just like the welfare queens to the promise of free money (or less debt).

Fiscal conservatism will only work after the revolution...smh.

Maybe we’ll find that given the state of the country and folks individual situations they will be willing to pay attention for 12 weeks out of their 52 week year, 12 out of this 208 week presidential term , 12 out of the 4000 or so weeks of their life. Hopefully that won’t put them out too much.

Yes, we agree that we hope the consequences of the election of Romney or Obama can be mitigated by a conservative house and senate.

The question is: I'm not asking who you will vote for nor if you will vote. Unfortunately either Romney or Obama will be the next president of the USA. It can't be neither (nor can it be "not either"). Who do you prefer it be?

I’ll pick the door on the right. :) Anyone but Obama. And I will cast my absentee ballot, FWIW.

Be interesting to see if this sways any Paulestinians. Ryan has credibility as a fiscal hawk, which is at least why some of the less fanatical Paul fans liked Ron Paul.

This would be a good choice if there was a conservative at the top of the ticket.

That would make it a slam dunk...

“you're a very patient man”

No I'm a student of American history and someone like many others who has put my life on the line for this country.

I am not a drama queen.

Conservatives electing liberals will not result in more conservatives elected in future elections it can only result in more liberals

I doubt it. Most aren’t political junkies as we are.

Well, they better be ready to defend and sell Ryan’s budget proposals because Dims will be demagogueing them every day the sun rises until election day.

And they need to do a much better job of responding to the Dims’ lies and smears than they have so far.

The excitement is that he can talk about numbers and difficult topics in a way that makes sense

Anybody that says they won’t vote for this ticket is not Conservative. What Conservatives know is this: The #1 issue facing this country is the debt and expansion of government, if left unchecked the debt will destroy the U.S. currency and subsequently destroy the entire standard of living in the USA. Paul Ryan is the only Republican that has tried to do anything about curbing government expansion and the national debt. Again if you do not vote for this ticket you will enable Obama to claim mandate for marxist socialism and if you do that you have effectively destroyed this country so you are no conservative nor are you a patriot you might as well claim your liberalism, progressivism, communism because that is what you are and if there are enough of you than yes this is the end of America, God save our children.
